By Conor Martin’s own admission, he’s “kind of an optimist”. I’m not. When I heard he was compiling the top five best/worst things for Liberty in 2018 and was struggling with the second half, my first thought was the problem might be too many things to choose from and figuring out where to even begin….
As many things as there are that make hating Trump easy, always remember that the *major* party alternative was the one who advocated enforcing a no-fly zone in Syria while the Russians were conducting bombing runs at the behest of their current government, risking WW3. Hillary’s latest warmongering tweet shows she hasn’t really changed all…
Imagine being so hated by your own party that you think the way to win is by promising not to stay in the position too long. Imagine championing term limits on yourself as a selling point in 2018 after serving in Congress since before Reagan even told Gorbachev to “tear down this wall” or the…
During a testy exchange between Trump and Pelosi/Schumer in front of a gaggle of press cameras, Mike Pence sat silently, looking as though he was being forced to sit through some really bad performance art. This moment is… pretty, pretty, pretty good https://t.co/E6TzYIkCEw pic.twitter.com/9Pu3v6SdWI — The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) December 11, 2018 And he kind…
Today, TIME Magazine came out with their annual “Person(s) of the Year”. In the past, they’ve used the profile to highlight someone who their editorial board has determined to have done the most to influence the direction of the world in the previous year. Everyone from Gandhi to Hitler, from Churchill to Stalin, from MLK…
This week, the government of France gave concessions to the “gilets jaunes” (the yellow vests), suspending the fuel tax rise for six months. France has been rocked by mass protests for weeks, with an estimated 300,000 participants. These protesters have constructed barricades, blocked traffic, attacked roads and street signs with everything from fire to pulling…
“Who voted for Ted Cruz?” asked Trent Reznor of his crowd during a concert in Dallas last night. “See, the lights aren’t on, I can’t see. Is there any way to turn the lights on? I’d like to see.” It didn’t take long for some roadie to fix the problem. “Come on, raise your hand….
Perusing some debates about the caravan, I was struck with just how little Americans seemed to actually know about the Northern Triangle, the conditions there, where it came from and where it landed. Hell, it’s location on a map may seem obvious, given the caravan is traveling through Mexico, but I’m not sure I even…
It all started with yet another gun control proposal from a sitting Congressman, which called for not just a return to the sun-setted “assault weapons” ban, but an expansion of it. Some of the differences include a lack of grandfathering (under the previous version, if you liked your guns, you could keep your guns), and…
Say what you want about ideology, but if you don’t know about Liberty Memes, I’m assuming your online political experience is much less fun. It’s certainly less dank. They’ve been at the forefront of the meme wars since the battle began, bringing us through Harambe to Tide Pods, SJWs to NPCs, Overly Attached Girl to…
